Cruising is always fun, but this one had a great dinner table, for me,
mostly because I finally sat with a “real” car guy.
For the sake of this post I’ll call him “Saskatchewan Don”.
He has an S10 Pickup (really a GMC S15, my bad) that he has had for a long time, it went from being used up to really crazy good.
Until 5 years ago, he campaigned this truck regularly, running very low 11’s.
After a non-auto incident, a doctor told him the violence of a launch could be bad,
so he is now having the truck detuned and it will run on pump gas.
He has e-mailed me some pictures and here they are.
Besides at the dinner, we had several “bench racing” sessions about today and the old times.
He was a teenager when GMJohnny’s 442 was new. It just goes to show, you don’t need to be drunk to get high!
Also, he can use a pool cue, and plays a good game of poker.

Re: 2019 Hawaii Cruising Vacation
Thanks for the post Fred and the kind words, however, my truck is a GMC S15 not a chev S10.
Re: 2019 Hawaii Cruising Vacation
Somebody took all the GMC emblems off, but I think I know that just wasn't paying attention.
Besides, I like it better as a GMC, it's somehow related to my Canyon. Fun!

Ok, VERY Nice piece of work. The total rebuild and the YouTube presentations!
Just curious, when and how long did it take you to do the complete makeover?

Welcome to the board, Don!
Very cool truck, great build! I think that one pic is the first time I've ever seen an S-truck with a 5th wheel trailer!!
